1. A network equipment for a group comprising at least two radio access networks of different types connected to a backbone network to which is coupled at least one application equipment including at least one external application adapted to exchange data with at least one internal application installed on multimode radiocommunication mobile terminals and each further comprising an operating system, at least two network interfaces coupled to said operating system and each having an address and being adapted to be connected to respective radio access networks of said group, which network equipment comprises management means adapted to transmit to a designated multimode mobile terminal via a signaling connection a control software module adapted once installed on said designated terminal to provide a proxy interface function between its internal applications and external applications adapted each time that it receives a transaction request designating an external application from an internal application of said terminal to determine which of said network interfaces of said terminal is suited to said transaction as a function of control information and routing information and then to instruct said operating system to transmit said transaction request to said designated external application via a transport level connection between said determined network interface and the application equipment containing said external application.
